Tax Deductible Donations Being Accepted For TRF Splash Park

They already have more than 10% of their funding goal, as a group of “Community Activists” moves forward on a much discussed Splash Park in Thief River Falls.

Organizers Tom Kalinowski and Scott Fricke appeared this week on Open Line with Mark Alan to give a complete picture of the project, “ready to carry across the finish line.

Organizers say the project lost momentum after a failed grant application last year, but they say the idea is sound; that the community deserves water recreation on a hot summer day – and that the location, at Bill LaFave Park, offers parking – picnic and playground along with kayaking and beach access creating an all around destination.

As far as a Splash Park vs. an Outdoor Swimming Pool; organizers say there is room for both in the Community and promise donations collected for the pool project decades past *will not* be used for Splash Park funding.
